Healthy People 2010 & Environmental Health
About Healthy People 2010 & Environmental Health
A resource page was compiled by the Public Health Foundation (PHF), with assistance
from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), the National
Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), the National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS), and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(ODPHP).
This site is part of a national, public-private effort to provide easy access to information
useful in the development of environmental health objectives and for other environmental
health planning projects. The site provides access to evidence-based resources through
topic area links and pre-formulated PubMed searches on Healthy People 2010
Environmental Health objectives. It focuses on the six major topic areas within the
Healthy People 2010 Environmental Health Focus Area:
